% SPM help and manual facilities
% FORMAT spm_help
%
% The "Help" facilities are about software and implementation. The
% underlying mathematics, concepts and operational equations have been (or
% will be) published in the peer reviewed literature and the interested
% user is referred to these sources. An intermediate theoretical exposition
% is given in the SPM course notes. This and other resources are available
% via the SPM Web site.
% Visit http://www.fil.ion.ucl.ac.uk/spm/, or press the "SPMweb" button.
%
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
%
% `spm_help('Topic')` or `spm_help Topic` displays the help for a
% particular topic.
%
%--------------------------------------------------------------------------
% The SPM package provides help at three levels, the first two being
% available via the SPM graphical help system:
%
% (i)   Manual pages on specific topics.
%       These give an overview of specific components or topics its
%       relation to other components, the inputs and outputs and
%       references to further information.
%
%       Many of the buttons in the help menu window lead to such "man"
%       pages.  These are contained in ASCII files named spm_*.man.
%       These can be viewed on the MATLAB command line with the `help`
%       command, e.g. `help spm_help` prints out this manual file in
%       the MATLAB command window.
%
% (ii)  Help information for each routine within SPM (E.g. This is the).
%       help information for spm_help.m - the help function.)
%       This help information is the help header of the actual MATLAB
%       function, and can be displayed on the command line with the
%       `help` command, e.g. `help spm_help`.
%
% (iii) SPM is (mainly) implemented as MATLAB functions and scripts.
%       These are ASCII files named spm_*.m, which can be viewed in the
%       MATLAB command window with the `type` command, e.g. `type
%       spm_help`, or read in a text editor.
%
%  ---  MATLAB syntax is very similar to standard matrix notation that
%       would be found in much of the literature on matrices. In this
%       sense the SPM routines can be used (with MATLAB) for data
%       analysis, or they can be regarded as the ultimate pseudocode
%       specification of the underlying ideas.
%
% In addition, the MATLAB help system provides keyword searching through
% the H1 lines (the first comment line) of the help entries of *all*
% M-files found on MATLABPATH. This can be used to identify routines from
% keywords. Type `help lookfor` in the MATLAB command window for further
% details.
